Standard of care is a term that has a few different implications. The first is that is merely what AMA doctors do by decree from Big Pharma and its FDA approved drugs, and what is practiced by mainstream medical consensus.

Deaths, injuries, or illnesses that result from any allopathic medical protocols or medicines are iatrogenic events (caused by medical intervention). And iatrogenic death ranks third, conservatively, among all causes of death in the USA.

This estimate excludes “cancer deaths” that are often from toxic chemo and radiation therapies that actually produce enough harm to kill before the cancer can.

Doctors and hospitals are able to avoid malpractice suits and criminal charges as long as all the invasive procedures and toxic medicines used were within the AMA guidelines called “standard of care” (SOC), ostensibly to guarantee certain medical guidelines are adhered to for the patients’ protection.

So standard of care guidelines give the appearance of protecting patients, but from what? Often it’s from using safer and more effective means of actually curing diseases or mental disorders. Only FDA approved drugs are part of standard of care guidelines, even if they are used “off label”.

If a patient dies under the care of a holistic MD, naturopath, herbalist, or chiropractor using non-pharmaceutical means, he or she can be arrested for murder. As long as an MD prescribes toxic drugs within standard of care guidelines, that practitioner is not culpable or liable no matter how many die.

Most actual cures are from therapies outside standard of care protocols. Thus standard of care guidelines and restrictions inhibit real breakthroughs, such as when Dr. Frederick Robert Klenner had attempted to prove with dozens of case study files that mega-dose injections of vitamin C cures polio.

That was circa 1950, right when polio threats had peaked. Dr. Klenner brought his case files to a regional medical board meeting, and discovered that none, absolutely zero, of the other MDs there were interested at all.

Another example of how standard of care restricts better options is offered by an MD in the video at the end of this article.

How Standard of Care Protected a Ruthless Pediatric Psychiatrist and Big Pharma

A regionally high profile case that sent the parents of preschool Rebecca Riley to jail for murder in the Boston area also involved a Tufts-New England Medical Center psychiatrist and psychiatric drugs. Rebecca Riley was only two years old when psychiatrist Dr. Kayoko Kifuji diagnosed her as ADHD. When Rebecca turned three, Dr. Kifuji added bipolar to her diagnosis.

But Rebecca’s condition seemed to be getting worse, so Kifuji responded by upping the clonidine dose, a blood pressure medicine used off-label as a sedative for ADHD. Then she also prescribed the anti-psychotic Seroquel and the anti-seizure drug Depakote.

Rebecca died at the age of four solely from that combination of drugs. She had been legally prescribed a total of ten pills daily. The children were parented by low lifers with a history of domestic issues and child abuse from the stepfather. They were living in public housing. That subclass is easy pickings for prosecutors.

The father was convicted of first degree murder; the mother was convicted of second degree murder. Meanwhile, Dr. Kifuji was put on a paid leave of absence pending a grand jury decision that could indict the doctor on criminal charges. The grand jury decided not to prosecute her. And she became an expert witness, after being granted immunity, in the trial against Rebecca’s mother and stepfather.

So Dr. Kifuji soon went back to Tufts practicing pediatric psychiatry’s SOC, which is mostly putting little kids on dangerous drugs after glancing over nonsense in the DSM V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 5), a collective committee rambling of personality disorders with recommended pharmaceuticals, from Ritalin to Zoloft.

After Dr. Kifuji had returned to her practice, a spokesman for Tufts officially asserted “The care we provided was appropriate and within responsible professional standards.” Pediatric psychiatry’s “standard of care” is a financial boon for Big Pharma and the psychiatrists who write prescriptions instead of counseling. But it’s abusing young children.

In 2011, five year’s after Rebecca’s tragic death, a civil suit by attorneys for the surviving Riley children’s estate agreed to a $2.5 million settlement, Tuft’s maximum malpractice settlement amount. This was motivated partly from the Boston area’s public outcry against Dr. Kifuji and partly to keep the ugly details out of public view by avoiding a hearing.

Of course the logic offered by Tufts Medical Center was to settle and exacerbate the children’s post traumatic stress with prolonged courtroom trials. Yeah – sure. It’s cheaper to settle too, especially if your case is weak for a civil suit that only requires a preponderance of evidence.

The settlement was capped at $2.5 million because any amount beyond that would have to come from Dr. Kifuji’s pockets. That’s the amount Tufts uses to insure its doctors.
